OK, I see what you mean (I was confused anyway because I remembered also a different content ;-) ). Still the old version is IMHO not useful either. On one hand it is an identical meaning to park. On the other "decorative" and "structured" are highly subjective terms when it comes to gardens. Are you aware of the two main lines of European garden history? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_garden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_garden Reading your post I get the feeling that you think mainly about garden as a French Garden. Still I'm missing the difference from "leisure=garden" and "leisure=park", that's why I think it's not a bad idea to change the meaning of leisure=garden also officially in OSM. > Yes, a lot of those areas are here in Czech Republic, that's why I > brought this up, because we were discussing it in talk-cz and did not > came to any definite conclusion - some think this is an inappropriate > usage (like I do), some think it's ok. you see. leisure=garden has for a long time not corresponded to the wiki definition, that's probably why someone changed it. > Anyway, the page of leisure=garden was recently significantly changed > not only in the level of detail, but the meaning of this tag seems to be > shifted by this added content.

It would IMHO still be a garden. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
